"It Shall Pass"...A Lesson From My Mentor!

(I'm going to be a bit naughty and post something my mentor said to me, because I thought you may appreciate it too...)


I was talking to my mentor about something or rather, and wasn't feeling to "hot", and then he brought this story to my attention again:

================================================== =====

A monk said to the master:
"I feel extremely depressed today, as if everything is awful! I feel so sad and down...Help me."

The master said:
"IT SHALL PASS"

Then, after a couple of days, the monk went back to the master and beamed:
"I am so cheerful today! SOOO Happy! Thank you so much!"

To which the master replied:
"IT TOO SHALL PASS"


Moral:
Whether you feel good or bad, it's temporary, because feelings switch, and therefore:

It's not possible to feel good all the time AND....






It's also not possible to feel bad all the time.

================================================== =====

Guess what? I now feel better. :rolleyes:


TRUE story.
